founder of the Marist Brothers was unveiled at a celebratory mass, at St Mungo's Church, Townhead, in June 2008. In 2012 'The Mungo Boys', a play based on the reunion of six, former St Mungo's Academy boys, meeting again 40 years after they left the school in 1968 played at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The play was described as "a funny but gentle heart-warming record of youthful naivety, hope and optimism; a story of six pals who, to paraphrase the school motto, achieved nothing without work – but never lost the dream." Sports Athletics, rugby union and football were the main sports pursued by the school. The athletics team participated in both track and field and cross country city and national competitions, often with success. The rugby teams were established in 1934-5 and operated in the years before national schools competitions in Scotland. The teams played a series of matches each season against other rugby playing schools in the Greater Glasgow area. The football teams were the most successful school sports team and were a source of pride to both pupils and teachers. The school first XI won the Scottish Secondary Schools’ Shield in 1915 at the first time of competing. As the school population grew other age group teams were established. Over the years the teams were successful in both Glasgow and District secondary schools’ championships as well as in national championships. The last national title was won in 1990 in the Scottish Secondary Schools’ Shield Under 18 Championship Final. In total the school football teams have won 16 Scottish Schools Championships at all age grades. The football teams have also won 47 Glasgow School Championships and 18 Glasgow Cups.
